Giants center fielder Denard Span finished 5-for-6 and had three hits through the game's first three innings. Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford each picked up two RBIs in that span to give the Giants an early 5-0 lead. Span singled and scored a run in the sixth, and he doubled with two outs in the eighth to pick up his first five-hit game since April 28, 2015, and the fifth five-hit game of his career. He entered the game hitless in his last 13 at-bats.
The Phillies hoped to put a 6-22 May behind them, but their struggles continued.
